"In terms of my true strength, with the defensive power I have while lying down, and the speed provided by being barefoot and shirtless, I could easily fight Zuo Dao and Qian Wangsun, and even defeat Zheng Wentian of the third realm."
"But my Primordial Spirit is still too weak. To deal with people of the sa level, I almost have to use the Drawing Toad Force to gather strength."
"Alas, I still need to find a way to make my Primordial Spirit stronger."
Christina said, "So, what do you plan to do?"
"Hmph, now that the sheepfold has expanded, the natural course is to shear them vigorously!"
...
That evening, after self-study with Zhou Bai, Jing Xiu looked at him and said, "Brother Zhou, you’ve been talking a lot more these past few days. Thanks for the pointers."
Zhou Bai smiled faintly. Ever since his aptitude had been continuously enhanced at several points, his path in cultivation had felt smoother and smoother, whether it was theoretical study or daily breathing exercises, his progress could be said to be advancing leaps and bounds.
Now, sotis he didn’t even need Christina to relay ssages; he was able to have back-and-forth conversations with Jing Xiu on his own.
However, seeing Jing Xiu preparing to leave, Zhou Bai casually ntioned, "Right, Jing Xiu, I might not co back to the dormitory this week in the evenings, you study on your own first."
"Ah?" Jing Xiu expressed surprise, "Brother Zhou, do you have sothing to do?"
"It’s for the rise of humanity that I struggle!"
...
Since he had already expanded his sheepfold in one breath and acquired a dozen more plump sheep, Zhou Bai wasn’t about to stop there.
’If I don’t do it, I’ll never be at peace. I’ll shear them clean in one go!’
’According to Christina’s identification, in this building, aside from Lin Muqing, the remaining 24 tenants are all Heavenly Demon spies. My goal is to ’borrow’ their credit points every day.’
So, Zhou Bai directly lay at the entrance of the corridor and said to a female teacher who approached the door, "Hmm, Teacher Huang, right? You lent 80 credit points yesterday – I’ve noted it down. Lend another 80 today, and I’ll keep the credit card with for now."
"That’s enough. Go on in, don’t block the entrance here, stopping others from lending their credit points."
Teacher Huang: "???"
After finishing, he patted the stupefied face of Teacher Huang and sent her into the corridor.
Zhou Bai’s eyes lit up as he saw another middle-aged man entering the corridor and started to smile, "Isn’t this Teacher Song! Lend another 150 credit points tomorrow, I’ll calculate the interest for you at 5% yearly, and I’ll pay you back all together in ten years."
Just lying there at the entrance of the corridor, Zhou Bai caught twenty-one plump sheep returning ho within three hours, gaining thousands of credit points, truly a windfall.
Those from whom he hadn’t managed to get any wool, he just hadn’t encountered at the door; they either hadn’t co back or had already gone to their own rooms.
"Indeed, without unearned wealth a man doesn’t get rich, and without nightti grazing, a horse doesn’t get fat," Zhou Bai said as he looked at the empty and desolate street deep into the night, stretching and yawning. "Ah, I am dead tired today, I’ll co back tomorrow."
The next day, once his class ended, Zhou Bai waited again early at the downstairs of the dormitory. However, after waiting for an hour, he didn’t spot a single teacher.
"Hmm?"
In a second-floor room, Teacher Huang, who had been ’borrowed’ 80 credit points again yesterday, sneaked in through the window, breathing a sigh of relief, "This Zhou Bai kid, how co we just can’t refuse anything he asks for?"
"Darn it, my credit card is still with him; I have to get it back."
At that mont, a knock was heard, followed by an ethereal voice coming from behind the door: "Teacher Huang, could you lend 80 credit points, please?"
Teacher Huang’s face stiffened, a flicker of hesitation passing through her eyes, but it quickly disappeared as she answered, "Okay."
The mont she spoke these words, she felt the figure behind the door move away, and a trace of fear crossed her face, "Damn it, why is this happening? Zhou Bai is only at the first realm, and I am a fourth-realm teacher. How has he managed to force to this point?"
In the room next door, Zhou Shan was sitting crossed-legged on the bed, practicing his breathing to enhance the power of his Primordial Spirit, when suddenly he heard a knock at the door, followed by a cold voice.
"Can you lend 100 points?"
Zhou Shan’s body stiffened, and he slowly began, "Okay."
Listening to the fading footsteps outside the door, Zhou Shan sighed, "It’s a sin."
So he went door to door knocking, and this ti Zhou Bai’s takings were even more than the day before, raking in over two thousand points in one go.
On the third day, when Zhou Bai knocked on each door again, he found that no one responded to him.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Shan’s ears were stuffed with earplugs, and he had also wrapped his Primordial Spirit’s power around him, completely blocking his hearing.
At the sa ti, he sat cross-legged on the bed, breathing strategically, cultivating the power of his Primordial Spirit.
Suddenly, Zhou Shan felt a chill rise from his heart, and he frowned, ’What’s going on?’
He opened his eyes to check inside the room and saw no changes, but the cold feeling in his heart intensified, and he felt a strong malice surging toward him.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he saw a shadow flickering on the ground.
Realizing what was happening, he looked in the direction from where the shadow was cast – it was the window of his room.
He then saw outside the window, a strange and eerie humanoid figure, crouching on all fours on the windowsill, its pale head twisted 180 degrees, staring intently at Zhou Shan on the bed.
A pair of eyes fixed on Zhou Shan with deep resentnt.
The strange person opened their mouth, as if letting out a silent scream.
"Zhou Shan..."
"Lend 100 points."
Zhou Shan clutched his chest, soothing the raging Primordial Spirit’s power within him, and roared in his mind, ’Are you kidding ? Are you freaking kidding ? I thought soone grotesque had broken in! I nearly killed you!’
’It scared to death!’
Looking out the window at Zhou Bai, Zhou Shan shouted, "I’ll lend it! Okay, I’ll lend it!!"
Zhou Bai nodded, satisfied, and crawled away along the exterior wall.
In Xiao Pei’s room, a girl without legs was lying on a wheelchair, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Suddenly, she saw Zhou Bai climbing along the wall, and Xiao Pei calmly said, "Zhou Bai, I don’t have any points left on ."
Zhou Bai pointed at the wheelchair Xiao Pei was sitting in and said, "That wheelchair looks pretty good. I see it even has an Array engraved on it."
"Can I borrow it?"
Xiao Pei was shocked once more. Since the last ti Zhou Bai had borrowed points from her, she thought she had grasped the limit to his shalessness, but now Xiao Pei truly realized that this appalling fellow in front of her might actually have no limits at all.
For the first ti, Xiao Pei showed anger in front of Zhou Bai, "Zhou Bai, you give ..."
"Then at least I can borrow the wheels, right?"
Five minutes later, Xiao Pei sat dazedly in the wheelchair without wheels, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, I can’t be soft-hearted anymore."
"I can’t let Zhou Bai continue like this, he’s causing serious disruptions to our day-to-day activities."
"We must co up with a plan."
